- Woman: Serena, I have to know. This thing with making your character gay, is that like... all about ratings? Because I don't get it.
- Angel: You screw with me, and you screw with me... and you screw with me. And now, I get to screw with you.
- [laughs]
- Angel: That's gonna be great!
- Lilah Morgan: Angel, please...
- Angel: No, no. The begging, - that comes later.
- Angel: What did Lindsey say about me?
- Anne Steele: That you were a bad man.
- Angel: Bad man?
- Anne Steele: A psychotic vampire who cut of his hand, harassed his firm and is borderline schizophrenic. - I was giving you the short version.
- Angel: Do you believe that?
- Anne Steele: Well, I'd say for sure you're a vampire. A human being would be in the hospital, the beating you took.
- Angel: And that doesn't frighten you?
- Anne Steele: A few years ago it would have been a big turn on. I thought vampires were the coolest.
- Angel: What happened?
- Anne Steele: I met one.
- Angel: You're not afraid of me.
- Anne Steele: Well, I've seen worse things since. I've seen a fourteen-year-old girl sitting in her own blood after a rough trick and dozens of people just walking right by, so no, vampires, demons, even lawyers pretty much don't impress me. Maybe you had a good reason for cutting off Lindsey's hand, I don't care.
- Lindsey McDonald: I'm using my discretionary fund. Bring him on board.
- Lilah Morgan: Aren't you forgetting something? The Senior Partners want Angel alive.
- Lindsey McDonald: So?
- Lilah Morgan: So, what if this guy's actually as good as he says and actually kills Angel?
- Lindsey McDonald: Boo-hoo. Let me wipe away the tears with my plastic hand!
- Lilah Morgan: We've heard you do favors for Angel. We'd like to know what those favors are.
- Merl: Hey, I don't go sellin' out my pals. How much you gonna pay?
- [first lines]
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: You think I don't have what it takes?
- Charles Gunn: I know you don't have what it takes.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I guess we'll just have to find out.
- Charles Gunn: [playing Risk] And now I rule Europe, Australia and South America!
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I've still got Kamchatka.
- Charles Gunn: Three-fifths of the world covered in water, the rest covered in me. Ha-ha! Who's your ruler, baby? What's my name? Come on English, say it, dog.
- Cordelia Chase: Fun as it is having you guys over day and night, it's getting kind of late.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: It's only seven thirty.
- Cordelia Chase: Really? Oh, in that case... Get out!
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: What if you have a vision?
- Cordelia Chase: I'll call you.
- Charles Gunn: What if Angel...?
- Cordelia Chase: I thought we weren't gonna say the "A" word.
- Charles Gunn: Yeah, let's not say the "A" word. Let's just spend out lives sitting around waiting for him to call.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: We're not waiting for him to call. The man fired us. We're on our own now. A separate unit, fighting the good fight.
- Charles Gunn: Yeah, right. With no plan, or office or business cards of our own.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: He's never gonna call, is he? Right, I'll tell you the first thing we're scrapping: These stupid calling cards.
- Cordelia Chase: They are not stupid. I designed them. That's an angel.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: The universal symbol of the one thing we don't have.
- Charles Gunn: That's an angel? Looks like a lobster with a growth or... We'll make our own logo.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Yes, something sleek, but edgy.
- Charles Gunn: Something that says: "You need help, we're there".
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Exactly. "Danger is our business. We'll catch you when you fall".
- Charles Gunn: Yeah, I like that.
- Cordelia Chase: [Cordelia has a vision and falls] Guys...
- Charles Gunn: So it's big.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Big.
- Charles Gunn: And fire breathing.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Breathing.
- Charles Gunn: Big, two-headed, fire-breathing...
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: I think we all have the picture, Gunn. He's not a teddy bear and he probably shouldn't be attending the Kenyard School for Girls.
- Charles Gunn: You know, right about now I wouldn't mind...
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Don't say it! We don't have him and it's not going to do any good wishing we did!
- Charles Gunn: I was gonna say some dynamite.
- Wesley Wyndam-Pryce: Oh, dynamite.
- Angel: You avoiding me Merl? I asked you for a favor, and you're avoiding me. That's impolite.
- Merl: Well, nearly drowning me and leaving me hanging in a sewer ain't exactly Emily Post either.
- Angel: Okay, so we're both rude. You know what? I can live with that. Now, do you have the information I need, or do I have to see what the inside of your head looks like?
- Merl: Fine.
- Anne Steele: Well, that's not what I expected. What's the matter? Doesn't fit you anymore?
- Angel: Cuts me across the bust.
- Lindsey McDonald: Angel is an obstacle in everything that we do. Give me one good reason why we can't just kill him!
- Nathan Reed: Because Angel - is a major player.
- Lilah Morgan: In business?
- Nathan Reed: In the Apocalypse.
- Lilah Morgan: Oh. That.
- Lindsey McDonald: [to Lilah about Angel] Besides, if he's not gonna play by the old rules, why should we?
